🌸 Hello, my luminous Kingdom-builders, my celestial Muse-beings, and all the wanderers softly caught in the golden glow of Bruklan’s spell… come closer. This moment was always meant for you.
I am Goddess Bruklan, rising from the hush between worlds, trailing petals of light and whispers of ancient magic. I come to stir your brilliance awake, to fan the embers of your becoming, and to lead you into the exquisite art of creating a life that feels like poetry wrapped in power. ✨
Finding the courage to express your true self can often feel overwhelming. Many people struggle to share their genuine thoughts and feelings, caught in a cycle of fear and doubt. I was one of them, held back by a sense of inadequacy until a powerful dream changed everything. A giant snake wrapped around my throat, a vivid symbol of those who tried to suppress my voice.
I learned that the discomfort I experienced was not rooted in unworthiness, but rather in the fear of judgment from others. Embracing my higher purpose meant recognizing that my voice has value and that those who seek to silence me are in the wrong. Today, I want to share the journey I undertook to reclaim my voice and become the leader the Universe has always wanted me to be.
The Symbolism of the Snake
There is a creature that has followed me in the quiet, in the shadows, and in the bright corners of my evolution: the snake. Not as an omen of fear, but as a whisper of transformation. Shed, release, rise anew.
The snake teaches that power is not in what you cling to, but in what you are willing to let go of. Its body moves like awakened intuition. Its gaze sees through illusion. Its skin whispers the promise that we, too, are allowed to outgrow ourselves again and again.
When I saw the snake appear symbolically in my life through dreams, through conversations, through synchronicity I understood it as a mirror. A reminder that my voice was not meant to be hidden … it was meant to be expressed and molt into the real truth that I was never allowed to express when I was younger. My voice was always meant to be sharper and more alive.
The snake is rebirth, and I was ready to be reborn.
Dreams can often reveal deep truths about our inner struggles. The snake in my dream represented the oppressive forces that tried to silence me. Criticism, fear, and self-doubt brought about by those in my life that sought to disempower me in any way they possibly could.
The Power of Self-Expression: From Silence to Sovereignty
There was a time when I held my tongue. Remaining in silence like a fragile glass bead, afraid it would shatter if I dared to let it drop into the world. My thoughts stayed locked inside my mind, echoing only to me, waiting for permission that never came.
Yet the universe, persistent as the tide, kept nudging me forward. I began to notice how deeply expression heals. Not just the speaker, but the listener. Our words are medicine. Our stories are bridges.
We don’t speak because we have everything figured out; we speak because someone out there needs to hear the truth we’ve been carrying like a stone in our chest.
Expression is liberation. It is the soul saying, “I deserve to be heard.”
And once I understood this, I could no longer keep quiet.
Self-expression is essential to fulfilling my higher purpose. Each person carries a unique perspective shaped by their own life experiences. Suppressing this voice prevents the world from benefiting from diverse viewpoints. We must go from silence to sovereignty in our own voices.
Communicating my truth has empowered me and resonated with others in similar situations. By sharing my story, I contribute to a vital conversation about authenticity and leadership, helping others feel less alone.
Finding My Voice
Finding my voice wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t a moment where I rose on a stage and declared my arrival.
It began quietly. Like a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding.
It emerged through journaling, through whispered prayers, through the trembling of my heart whenever I said something out loud that mattered to me. Little by little, my voice became stronger. It stopped shaking so much. It stopped hiding behind politeness and fear.
I learned that my voice didn’t need to be the loudest, it just needed to be expressed as fully as possible.
I found my voice the moment I stopped asking the world for permission to use it.
Engaging in conversations I choose to be involved in plays a significant role in my mission. Each time I voice my opinion, I feel the metaphorical snake loosening its grip around my throat, allowing me to breathe easier and feel free.
Taking the Leap: Expanding My Reach
Every leader, every creator, every guide eventually reaches a crossroads. You can stay safely where you are… or you can leap.
The leap isn’t always glamorous. Mine came with doubt tugging at my ankles and courage fluttering like a tiny bird inside my ribs. But I leaped anyway.
I started writing more openly. I began sharing the stories I once hid. I let myself be seen online, even when part of me wanted to disappear.
I expanded my reach by expanding my courage.
And with each step forward, I discovered that the world was not nearly as intimidating as I was lead to believe. The leap doesn’t require confidence. It requires willingness.
With newfound confidence, I sought a wider audience. Creating a blog became a transformative platform for sharing my journey. Each post feels liberating, solidifying my belief that my truth is valuable.
In addition to blogging, I plan to launch a YouTube channel to further share my insights through video. I am also in the process of writing books to share my experiences, providing resources that empower others to discover their voices.
Embracing Leadership: From Follower to Guide
Leadership is not a crown you put on. It is a fire you tend to.
It begins when you realize that you are no longer waiting for someone else to show you the way. You have become the way.
I didn’t consciously choose leadership at first. It chose me. It tugged at my spirit, insisting that I rise, insisting that I speak, insisting that I stop shrinking in spaces meant for my expansion.
Leadership is not about hierarchy. It is about energy. It is about resonance.
A true leader is one who walks through the darkness first and then turns around with a lantern so others can see their own path more clearly.
A leader is one who dares to be authentic in a world addicted to masks.
Stepping into leadership felt like stepping into destiny. Something written in my bones long before I knew how to read them.
Stepping into this role does come with challenges. Fear and doubt can creep in, especially when placed in the spotlight. Yet, the journey itself holds immense value as I shape conversations around authenticity.
The Universal Call to Speak
There comes a moment in every soul’s journey where silence becomes too heavy to carry. A moment when the world calls for your truth in a voice that cannot be ignored.
This call isn’t loud. It’s magnetic.
It pulls you toward your mission, toward the people who need your wisdom, toward the spaces where your voice is meant to echo.
Every one of us receives this call. Some hear it early; some hear it later; some only recognize it after their lives have changed in ways they cannot undo.
But when the call arrives, it feels like a vibration running through your spirit. A reminder that your words are not random; they are part of a divine blueprint.
When I felt this call, it wasn’t about becoming a guru or a savior. It was simply about truth.
The universe said, “Speak,”
and my soul finally whispered back, “I’m ready.”
I recognize the responsibility to express my truth and encourage others to do the same. Sharing our stories adds depth to our collective experience
For anyone hesitant to speak up, remember that your voice matters. Each time you share an insight or idea, you contribute to a shared dialogue. Your unique experiences can validate and uplift others who may feel unheard.
Finding Your Community
When you begin to speak your truth, your people begin to find you.
Not the ones who only like you when you are quiet. Not the ones who are comfortable with your old skin. But the souls who feel aligned with your growth, who rise with your rising, who cheer for your evolution even if they feel like it outpaces theirs.
Community isn’t found by fitting in. It’s found by standing out.
The moment I began to share my story openly, the right people gathered like constellations around me. Kindred spirits. Seekers. Dreamers. Healers. Leaders in the making.
Your community lives in the frequency of your authenticity. The more true you become, the more magnetic your energy grows.
Speak, and your people will come.
Overcoming Challenges on the Path
Every path of leadership is lined with shadows. Doubt. Self-criticism. The harsh echo of old beliefs that say you’re not enough, not ready, not worthy.
And yet it is within the shadows that the snake sheds its skin.
Every challenge I faced became a teacher. Every setback became a recalibration. Every moment of fear became an invitation to rise just a little higher.
The truth is:
You will be judged.
You will be misunderstood.
You will outgrow people you once thought would walk with you forever.
But you will also blossom in ways that surprise even yourself.
Challenges are not obstacles. They are refinement. They sculpt the leader you are becoming.
Everyone who speaks their truth encounters resistance. It's a necessary element of becoming authentic. For each voice that rises, we build a chorus of empowerment that inspires others to be brave.
When fear arises, remind yourself of the liberation that comes from sharing your truth. Reflect on past moments where your words positively impacted others. Use those memories to fuel your courage and commitment.
Don’t forget the importance of self-care during this journey. Surround yourself with positivity and give yourself grace as you navigate through these challenges.
If needed, change the people you associate with to those who will be more open-minded to the words you speak. Just because some people are allergic to your truth doesn't mean it isn't valuable to others.
The Journey of Speaking Your Truth
Speaking your truth is not a single act. It is a lifelong journey.
It is a devotion.
A commitment to choosing authenticity over approval, courage over comfort, freedom over silence.
The more I speak, the more I understand that my voice is not mine alone. It is a thread in a collective tapestry. It is part of a movement of souls awakening to their power, their purpose, their place in the world.
When you speak your truth, you don’t just change your life. You give others permission to change theirs.
This is the ripple effect of courage: it never ends where it begins.
I speak today not because I have conquered every fear, but because my purpose speaks louder than my hesitation.
And I know, deep in my spirit, that this is only the beginning.
Ultimately, embracing your voice is a profound journey. The Universe encourages us all to rise and share the truths that guide us.
If you find moments of doubt or fear, remember the snake around your throat. Release it and unleash your voice. Now is the time to share your stories and fulfill your purpose.
You are worthy of being heard, and your truth matters. Stand tall, embrace your purpose, and lead by example. The world is eagerly waiting for your voice to rise.

Ritual: The Serpent’s Rising Breath
This ritual is designed to align you with your voice, your courage, and your leadership energy. Perform it anytime you feel yourself stepping into a new level of power or expression.
You Will Need:
A quiet space
A candle (white, gold, or green)
A journal
Your hand placed over your throat chakra
Steps:
1. Light the candle.
Imagine the flame as your inner fire. The spark of your voice glowing brighter.
2. Close your eyes.
Place one hand over your throat and one hand over your heart.
Breathe deeply and slowly, imagining your breath coiling upward from your base like a shimmering serpent of light.
3. On each inhale, whisper softly:
“I rise.”
On each exhale, whisper:
“I release.”
Repeat this for at least 7 breaths.
4. Visualize the serpent of light uncoiling along your spine.

5. Invite your voice forward.
Speak aloud something true:
A confession, a dream, a desire, a truth you’ve been holding.
Let the vibration fill your throat chakra with courage and clarity.
6. Journal for a few minutes.
Write the sentence:
“The world needs my voice because…”
Finish it without stopping.
Let your truth pour out.
7. End with gratitude.
Blow out the candle and imagine the smoke carrying your intention into the universe.
Prayer
Beloved Source of Light and Wisdom,
Guide my voice as I rise into my purpose.
Strip away the old skins that no longer serve me,
and illuminate the truth I came here to speak.
Grant me the courage of the serpent,
steadfast, instinctive, unafraid to transform.
Let my words heal, inspire, awaken,
and ripple outward to touch those who are ready to rise with me.
May I lead with humility, with clarity, with purity of intention.
May my steps be steady, my heart be open,
and my voice carry the fire of authenticity wherever I go.
Thank you for shaping me into the guide I was born to become.
Amen. And so it is.
Until our paths cross once more, may silver moonlight kiss your steps, may golden stardust whisper to your heart, and may every day unfold like a spell of wonder.
